In 1981 Planned Parenthood researcher Donald Granberg did a study calculating the number of women who had abortions were involved in right to life and pro-choice groups.
He found that 3% of National Right to Life women and 32% of NARAL women had abortions – however, NARAL had a membership of 156,000 and National Right to Life had a membership of 12 million. When counting the female members, NARAL had a population of 39,000 aborters and national right to life had a population of 245,000 aborters. Therefore, women who had abortions were, according to this study, six times more likely to work against abortion, then for it.
While this information is dated, it makes you wonder about how many women had abortions and now regret them and feel that abortion is not the best choice for other women. This says something about the experiences that women have with abortion in America.
